Teaching Philosophy

My students are not mere spectators. They are active participants in a shared learning process that encourages deep learning through critical thinking, collaborative work, and the creation of a warm, tolerant learning atmosphere. In preparing a course, I consider the transferable skill sets and specific learning outcomes that students need in order to:

Become successful professionals that can evaluate and interpret existing knowledge.

Use technology and information ethically for imaginative problem solving.

Debate and collaborate with a mind that is open to new or different positions.

Acquire agency to be creators of knowledge.

Strive to become global citizens that will contribute to making our world more peaceful, sustainable, and humane.
